I’m searching across America and beyond for girls and the horses that have taught them, challenged them, carried them—and completely stolen their hearts.
50

50 HORSES.
50 STORIES.
This is their chapter.
Let's paint it.
YOUR DAUGHTER. HER
horse.
They don't even need to be in the same photo. A favorite show image, great horse photos, simple selfies—I bring together the best details to capture their likeness, their connection, and what makes them them.
Not a filter. Not a one-click AI portrait.
You can participate from anywhere, and I'll personally guide you through exactly what I need.
Before I finish, you'll see it too.
Nothing moves forward until you say, “That's THEM.”
THEIR PAINTING.
50 GIRLS. 50 HORSES.
ONE BEAUTIFUL
Collection
At the end of the project, all 50 paintings and stories will come together in a beautifully produced equestrian magazine celebrating the girls, their horses, and the relationships behind the ribbons.
Your daughter will have her own feature with her painting and her story—and you'll receive a copy to keep.

Your $495 Includes:
THERE IS NO FEE TO APPLY.
If your daughter is selected as one of the 50, we'll talk first.
If it feels like it's a good fit, and you'd like to move forward, the participation fee is $495.
When your painting is finished, we’ll meet for a private virtual portrait reveal. And if your first thought is, “Ohhhh. I need that BIG,” this is when you can decide.
Your entire $495 participation fee can be applied toward a larger painting instead of the included 8×10.
Love the 8×10? It’s yours. No additional purchase required.

OKAY, SO WHAT DOES IT COST?
Whether your girl rides hunter/jumper, dressage, Western—or something else entirely—her painting will be featured alongside a little piece of her story: who she is, the horse she loves, and what makes their relationship so special.
And you’ll receive a copy of the finished magazine to keep.
The girls. The horses. And the extraordinary bond between them.
Painting
Before I finish your painting, you'll see a proof so we can make sure the likeness feels exactly right. If there's a little something you'd like refined—an expression, a feature, or a detail—we'll take care of it before I complete the portrait.
Once everything feels just right, I'll finish the painting and prepare it for your private virtual portrait reveal.
A finished 8×10 painting is included with your participation.
There are horses a girl rides. And then there is

The one she gets up before dawn for.
The one who carries her into the ring—and somehow knows exactly what she needs.
The ribbons get packed away. She grows up. Life changes.
But she will always remember this horse.
And that's exactly why we're painting the two of them now.
horse.
DOES SHE BELONG IN THE 50?
I’m looking for girls who love to ride—and share a special connection with a horse.
She doesn’t need the biggest ribbons or to compete at the highest level.
I’m much more interested in the connection between them. What this horse has taught her. How they’ve challenged each other. And who she becomes when they’re together.
If that sounds like your daughter, I’d love to hear about the two of them.

HI, I'M
Kathy
For more than 25 years, I've been creating custom paintings of the people and animals families love most.
I work from the photographs you already have, bringing together the details that matter to create something personal, meaningful, and unmistakably yours.
After exhibiting my equestrian work with Espayo at the Longines Global Champions Tour London, I created 50 GIRLS. 50 HORSES. to celebrate this remarkable chapter in a girl’s life—and the horse she’ll never forget.
